[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am 4 years older than my brother. We were never particularly close, but I always viewed that as being because we have very different personalities than because of the age gap. When I was a kid, I always thought a ~4 year age gap between kids was normal and never for a second wished I had a sibling closer in age. It seemed to be the exception rather than the rule to have friends with closer-in-age siblings. Don't overthink it. 4-5 years is fine.[/quote] Also, I was never, ever expected to be a caregiver for my brother. Hell, even my husband who has a sister who is 10 years older than him was rarely cared for by her as a child. If you as parents don't expect it, it doesn't have to happen.[/quote]
